A judge in WY just dismissed 9 cases w/o prejudice bc Trump's US Attorney told the GJ: 1) They were all murderers (just one is accused of murder) 2) They “did what you are going to hear about.” Deliberations won't take long 3) Told grand jurors they were getting slam dunks.

For some reason Donald Trump has posted a AI generated picture of him pressing a button and blowing up America, Ireland and himself.
This president is stealing from you every day, in every conceivable way.
Good for parents in Washington state for standing up against this bonkers effort to use their pre-schoolers to train AI. But other parents won’t be as aware or able to prevent this. https://www.404media.co/researchers-wanted-preschool-teachers-to-wear-cameras-to-train-ai/
Researchers Wanted Preschool Teachers to Wear Cameras to Train AI

“With your permission, your child’s lead teacher may wear a small teacher-worn camera that captures the teacher's approximate first-person perspective, and/or we may place a fixed video camera in the classroom,” a document given to parents and later shared with 404 Media reads.

#SCOTUS sends closely watched #NativeAmerican #VotingRights decision back to lower court

SCOTUS acted in a #VotingRightsAct case brought by Native American tribes on Monday, saying a closely watched ruling needs to be reconsidered after the high court weakened the #CivilRights era #law.

The justices ordered lower courts to take another look at the decision that went against the tribes & undercut a key enforcement mechanism: lawsuits from voters & advocacy groups.

Supreme Court sends voting rights case back to lower court

The Supreme Court has acted in a Voting Rights Act case brought by Native American tribes, saying a closely watched ruling needs to be reconsidered after the high court weakened the Civil Rights-era law. The justices on Monday ordered lower courts to take another look at the decision that went against the tribes and undercut a key enforcement mechanism: lawsuits from voters and advocacy groups. The justices, though, have already diluted enforcement power with their April decision that struck down a majority Black congressional district in Louisiana and made future cases much harder to win.

This is the dumbest fucking thing I’ve read since the last AI thing.

The conservative majority, meanwhile, already diluted enforcement power with an April decision that struck down a majority #Black congressional district in #Louisiana & made future cases much harder to win.

In that case, #SCOTUS’ conservative majority ruled a map relied too heavily on race with a district aimed at giving Black voters a chance to elect a candidate of their choice. The decision effectively limited #VotingRights claims to maps that are intentionally designed to discriminate.
